Hi fabsroman,I'm not sure what it was but a buddy had a goose blind\decoy about 48" high at the top of the back totaly out of the wind but could'nt see squat.I much rather shoot from the chairs as you can see all around and the body pops up quickly by way of bungee cord at front of bird.As far as the wind if it's strong enough you might want a vest under your coat to proyect your back.If nothing is moving you can stand around calling until you see or hear them comming.It's a blast
